RIM BlackBerry Curve 8520
We like the media playback controls, we like the ambition of producing a low-cost BlackBerry, but until the Curve 8520 drops in price there's too much competition for us to recommend it

BlackBerry Curve 8520
There has been quite a speculation about the launch of a new BlackBerry phone. Some people said that the code name of the device is "Gemini" while some said that its model number will be 8325.
Pros:
- Slim design
- Up to 16GB expandable memory
- Good battery
Cons:
- No 3G
- Just 2 MP camera

RIM has taken note of the consumer demand for inexpensive messaging phones and delivered several devices that bridge business and consumer worlds. Its latest budget offering is the BlackBerry Curve 8520 that boasts social network access and a full Qwerty keypad.

The screen on this blackberry has malfunctioned.
The screen on this blackberry has malfunctioned and has a defect. It has numerous odd multi-colored stripes from top to bottom on the face of the phone. I am returning the blackberry to a Best Buy location to be replaced with another unit. The other features appear to be working.

Work gave me one of these to ensure that I always have access to my emails (using blackberry services). I have a 1st generation iPhone as well and have had many Nokia products in the past. Keep in mind that my review of this phone is in contrast and comparison to my iPhone.

BlackBerry 8520 Curve (Purple)
"Black Berry Curve 8520-I have ordered BB curve 8520 on Wednesday and got it delivered next wednesday..!! This is the best deal I could find online. To be frank, I read reviews about Shopclues which was neither gorgeous nor bad. I was scared to pay online thinking what if it is not delivered.

Nice Phone for Everyone
Blackberry brand is more famous for Business Class Phones however this model breaks that all. As it is quite cheap anyone can buy and use this phone. The Blackberry Operating System is the simplest OS after Apple's iOS so may be they both are at same level.

Mini-review: It's much the same story with the BlackBerry Curve 8520, RIM's low-end model boasts neither HSDPA nor GPS, and it couples that with very plasticky build quality and a screen that's grainy and low in resolution, at just 320 x 240.
